Read MoreMilk painting Class at Salvaged, at Lake Tahoe, this Sunday!
About a year ago, I discovered a wonderful vintage/hand-made art shop, in Tahoe City, on Lake Tahoe’s north end. Once inside, the shop has a wonderful scent, with all the hand-made candles and soaps. It has a calming vibe, with owners Renee and Alissa, at the helm. I knew that this could…

Read MoreThere’s Still Room for you to Create a Milk Painted Masterpiece!
As you probably know, we sell both chalk and milk paints, at The Treasured Home. We teach classes, using both products, yet month after month, there’s less demand for our milk painting class, which leaves me scratching my head, in wonder. Or, is that the bed bugs? (Yes, that was a joke!) Maybe…
